Meghan and Harry the grift that keeps on grifting. Long may they continue. Better than any soap opera on the telly.

What is the handler doing with Harry’s face 😂

I think William's resemblance to Diana is more than vague. He's basically a male version of her. The height, facial features, even the mannerisms. It was more obvious when he was young, but there is still a strong resemblance.

From what I can deduce from various back of the head and side of face shots, both Sussex kids strongly favour the Markle side. I can't imagine Meghan is best pleased about that.

I think Harry has got the Spencer family histrionic temperament and temper.
Red hair also pops up further back in the line.

Looks wise I believe he most resembles the late Duke of Edinburgh around the brow although not as handsome as the Duke was as a young man.

Anyone seen the photo on x of Harry manhandling what looks like a service dog?

“Social media has not been kind. Users have flooded comment sections and quote tweets with variations of the same theme: Harry looks ridiculous, the dog looks in charge, and the whole thing feels like the universe delivering karmic payback.
One widely shared take noted that Harry “thinks everything is there for his entertainment” and uses every setting as a photo op to prove he’s a good guy — only to fail constantly because the performance rings hollow.
Others pointed out the contrast with the real work done by actual veterans and their dogs. While Harry plays at being one of them for a few hours, the warriors who sacrificed limbs and peace of mind continue their quiet recovery. The golden retriever, at least, seems to be doing its job without needing an audience or a Netflix special.”

Never manhandle a service dog. How does this idiot not know this ??

I think Harry's trying to make the dog "smile" by pulling at its cheeks/lips/jowls (I'm not up on dog terminology) then he's presumably got the handler to pretend she and the dog are making Harry "smile".
It looks very childish imo but is probably hilarious to Harry.

Starryfifty · 17/06/2026 08:42

I think it's "cheeky lovable Harry" grift. Which may have worked as a teenager but a bit pathetic as a Middle Aged man

HoldMyWine · 17/06/2026 08:44

Handsy Harry strikes again, looks the the handler is returning the favour by grabbing his flabby jowls.

Ah yes - I am now imagining a thought bubble from the handler "see how you like it, dickhead".
Dog looks much happier with his paws on Harry than with Harry's paws on him.

This on x made me chuckle

I was going to say the same. He's trying to do the 'royal japester' thing which really doesn't work when you're in your 40s, and looking every day of it.

That’s gotta be AI.

It seems that nearly everything they do or say is a disaster these days. They really need to stay out of the public eye and shut up.

That's the very opposite of how they live, though. They live for the publicity, being famous, being royal. What else do they have?

How do you consume that concoction? The gloop will get stuck in a straw .

I’m not sure making people feel sick is an effective marketing strategy.

A poster on Reddit suggested that Meghan is aiming this new product at the “Colonoscopy Prep Crowd”

I'm not sure if Harry pinching the dogs cheeks is AI- hope so.

I think my teen may be exiting her Matcha era, she has the bamboo whisk and had been making it daily, she adds honey to hers, but I haven’t seen her make it for the past week or so. I told her I had a new Matcha recipe to show her and her reaction was hysterical, not too different to ours, recoil and a total look of disgust, ‘ that is absolutely gross, who would drink that’ and the kicker from a ‘know it all teen’ “someone who knows nothing about Matcha made that up without ever having tried Matcha or understanding what it is about” I told her it was a recipe from the Duchess of Sussex and of course that got a “who TF is that” type of answer.

Guess Meghan needs to come up with something new if she really wants that teen market. I still laugh at the idea any of my teens or their friends would even think about buying jam, never mind saving up to buy it !

Edited

My teens got given a jar of jam each as part of their Christmas present from one of their grandmothers.

They were politely grateful, but a bit nonplussed afterwards. It was fairly standard jam (not As Ever or any specially "premium"-styled product). To them, jam is just jam. They would never buy it or gift it. It's always in the house and they spread it on their toast; it's basically a staple like butter or bread.

MIL is very nice and kind (and gave them other Christmas gifts which were lovely), but even I don't know what was going on with the jam thing.

You can't trust any photos these days but it doesn't particularly look like AI to me, and the obnoxious behaviour is typical Harry.

Speaking of this, this face swap of William and Diana always makes me laugh 🤣

I think the one of Harry holding the dog’s face is genuine. It’s the second pic. If you look at where the handler has her hand on Harry’s face, there’s dogs fur visible.

Agree. I also can’t imagine the dog handler being allowed (or wanting!) to cup Harry’s face

elessar · 17/06/2026 09:32

The first one of Harry smushing the dog’s face is horrible too. He just uses things like props for him. There’s no kindness in it

There is something fundamentally unkind about him. Was watching something recently with an ex butler. He said his first day, H soaked him with water bombs. Was obnoxious to him but zero discipline.

I’ve read the housekeepers diary and her observations on the boys are interesting. They sound ill disciplined and entitled. Their behaviour towards staff was often rude and out of order .
